IN FRANKFURT
The 11th Escar Conference on Embedded Security in Cars will take place at the Hilton Hotel in Frankfurt/Main (Germany) on November 14 and 15, 2013. The German escar is the leading automotive cyber security workshop and had its 10th anniversary last year. Together with ESCRYPT and the Horst-Görtz-Institution at the Ruhr-University in Bochum it engages in the topic with analysis of the threat, actual and possible attacks, development reports and possibilities of protection. This year, due to escar’s international success, escar is organised the first time in two locations – Frankfurt/ Germany for EUROPE and Detroit/USA for America. The Detroit conference took place in May with great success. The speakers’ presentations will be available for download shortly. The escar provides the opportunity for information exchange, networking, and collaboration among your peers and a forum to define research needs as well as socialising at the escar dinner. This years’ social program offers a visit to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Visitors Centre (on Wednesday, 13th November) and another one to the Lufthansa Flight Training Centre at Frankfurt Airport (on Thursday, 14th November).

Government targets 100,000 engineering apprentices in five years
The Government has announced a multi-million pound scheme to produce at least 100,000 new engineering apprentices over the next five years.
Created by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institution of Civil Engineers, and the Institution of Engineering and Technology, is backed by £10m from the Gatsby Foundation - one of the Sainsbury family charitable trusts. On completion of the scheme, apprentices will gain the professional registration designation of Engineering Technician (EngTech). The Prime Minister said: “British engineering and innovation are a part of our history that we are rightly very proud of and our engineering excellence continues to change the world that we live in for the better. “Apprenticeships are at the heart of our mission to rebuild the economy, giving young people the chance to learn a trade and to build their careers, creating a truly worldclass, high-skilled workforce that can compete and thrive in the global race.“
